Hello, how could we change a HTTP status code response from an API 401 to a 500 or 503? We have this Inner Tree that calls to this API to get User info when this user it’s not cretaed in IDM to create a user with all his information (It’s in the API). But when we test this Tree to fail by the API (on purpose) it gets back a HTTP error 401 instead of 500. We wanna change this error, since it is a server error and not the user’s, we thought with a scripted decision node would work.

We working with AM 7.1.1

A.F.A.I.K. As of today a tree does not return 50x error codes. You can customise the error message using either the NodeState, or Action APIs but not the error code.

If you absolutely need to change the error code it has to be done outside of AM, e.g. through a Gateway.
